Posted project update #13Menu and Hours Homescreen Icon
Post CommentOh hey. What is this? Why it’s the Menu and Hours homescreen icon on an iPhone.
Once again I couldn’t be more pleased to have David Yeiser’s design talent for this project.
And in case you wonder why we didn’t just go with the awesome logo that Matt Dobson created for the t-shirt it just didn’t work well sized down to fit into the homescreen icon constraints. We will still use that on the load screen (the screen you see when you first launch an app), so you’ll still get to experience that cool image on a regular basis.

commented on a project updateHey Aaron, That's actually been under debate for a while. I've had it in and I've taken it out, just to keep the design as clean and uncluttered as possible. But if it's something you find really important I'll take another look at it and see if we can't make it work. Thanks for your feedback. Michelle

Posted project update #12So Fresh and So Clean
Our designer David Yeiser is straight up knocking it out of the park. Check out the Mayan Cafe’s listing:
That, in my humble opinion, is a fresh, clean, easy to read, gorgeous look. Things are getting exciting!

Posted project update #11Menu and Hours T-Shirts For Sale (aka inching toward Android)
Post CommentMuch like the school band selling fruit to help finance new uniforms I’m selling t-shirts to help fund development of the Android version of Menu and Hours. Of course the Menu and Hours shirts are way, way cooler than a crate of grapefruit.
Every shirt sold gets us a little bit closer to having Menu and Hours for both iPhone and Android platforms.
The shirts are being printed locally in Louisville by a small screenprinting company. The shirts will be dark blue with white printing. The price is $17, including sales tax. Here’s the design that will be printed on the front of the shirt:
If you are interested in buying a shirt please send an email to info@menuandhours.com with the size you want and whether or not you’re in Louisville. For Louisville folks we can make arrangements to meet up for delivery so you don’t have to pay for shipping. You can pay with cash or credit card (shoutout to Square). For out of town folks please give me the address you’ll want your shirt shipped to and I will calculate the shipping cost and get back to you.

Posted project update #10We Made the Paper
Post CommentI'm pretty pleased that Louisville's daily newspaper, the Courier-Journal will run a feature in the business section tomorrow about crowdfunding in general and specifically Menu and Hours. I think it's a pretty good article and, to borrow a line from one of my favorite movies Almost Famous, the reporter quoted me "warmly and accurately."

Louisville, KY
I live in and love Louisville. I publish a website called Consuming Louisville to help people find awesome restaurants, artists, businesses and events in Louisville. I think a lot about goodness, kindness and ethics. And I'm trying to do my small part to make the world a better place everyday.
This looks great! One idea for the hours: display an "open" or "closed" sign based on whether the restaurant happens to be open at this particular time. It saves but a tiny amount of time for the user but given that I usually want to know right now whether the place I want to visit is open, it makes the app feel like it was designed with my actual needs in mind. That kind of thing makes a huge difference. Great work!
